lyrics

BRACE YOURSELF

I used to tell the truth but now I know better
Nobody wants to know which way the wind will blow
Knives in my back, the handles read “Jesus Loves You”
Just like honey for bees, I’ve been money for thieves

Innocent lamb led to the slaughter
The shepherd’s the one who wields the blade

You’ve got to brace yourself
Make them take you alive
Kick at that dying light, just stay awake
Resist the urge to sleep and keep stumbling

All bets are off, take nothing for granted, baby
None of your good deeds will ever go unpunished

I promise you, where there’s smoke, there’s mirrors
Building’s on fire, someone’s selling water

You’ve got to…

A friend or foe, you’ll never see it coming
Everything will change, and then again…

You’ve got to…
